The WiiHelm by ThinkGeek

[Zeep]

The Nintendo Wii has surely revolutionized gaming as we know it. Rabid fanboys everywhere are now flailing their arms in delight as they wield the Wiimote as a tennis racket, baseball bat or sword. Problem is the average gaming geek is just not up to the strenuous task of vigorous arm movement for longer than 10 minutes. This makes those extended play sessions a thing of the past... and who wants to beef up at the gym just to play video games on your couch? We sure don't.

Fortunately for cream puffs everywhere the WiiHelm is now available at ThinkGeek. Simply lock your existing Wiimote into the stylish white helmet and free your hands for relaxation... or other important tasks. After extensive scientific study it was found that manipulating muscles in your neck for 10 minutes uses 64% less energy than waving your arms about like a lunatic. The WiiHelm works great with all of your favorite Wii games and the included foot pedal allows easy button presses using minimal toe effort. Plus the amazing Wiimote Saf-T-Lok technology and double reinforced head strap save you thousands of dollars in damaged flat-screen repair charges.

Important Note:
The WiiHelm does not include a Wii console or controller. You need to supply your own, or trade your PS3 for a Wii on eBay. Games requiring the Nunchuck are currently not supported by the WiiHelm*

Damn april fools. I hate this time of year.

[Generosity of God]

thats a really bad concept. even for an april fools joke. they should design something that is believable and so good in concept that when they reveal it as an april fools joke, people will cry for it to be real.

this thing would be stupid because all the games will be designed for the Wii remote to be used by hand, making all motion sensing (while using this helm) just plain crap.

That is, indeed, quite pathetic even for April Fools.
However, it's name is hilarious.

There's also the SnuzNLuz alarm clock that donates money to you most hated charity every time you hit the snooze button, the 8-bit tie, the Piranhaz R/C battle fish, the Dream Vacation digital photo frame, or the SurgeStix inhalable caffeine.

Not the best joke I've heard. EGM has the best one so far.
